“…Inspired by the positive organizational scholarship movement studies have reported relationships between the virtues of leaders and team performance (Palanski et al 2011), between organization -level virtues and organizational performance (Cameron, K.S., D. Bright and A. Caza 2004;Chun, R. 2005;Bright, D., K. Cameron and A. Caza, 2006) and between individual level character strengths and a range of outcomes including increased lifesatisfaction (Park et al 2004), organizational citizenship (Rego et al 2010), affective commitment (Rego et al 2011) and student performance in assessment (Peterson and Park 2006) to name but a few.…”

ABSTRACTWhat can be learned from a small scale study of managerial work in a highly marginal and under-researched working community? This paper uses the "goods-virtues-practicesinstitutions" framework to examine the managerial work of owner-directors of traditional circuses. Inspired by MacIntyre"s arguments for the necessity of a narrative understanding of the virtues, interviews explored how British and Irish circus directors accounted for their working lives. A purposive sample was used to select subjects who had owned and managed traditional touring circuses for at least 15 years, a period in which the economic and reputational fortunes of traditional circuses have suffered badly. This sample enabled the research to examine the self-understanding of people who had, at least on the face of it, exhibited the virtue of constancy. The research contributes to our understanding of the role of the virtues in organizations by presenting evidence of an intimate relationship between the virtue of constancy and a "calling" work orientation. This enhances our understanding of the virtues that are required if management is exercised as a domain-related practice.

“… Virtuousness is described as the best of the human condition, the most ennobling attitude and outcomes and the highest aspirations of human beings (Comte-Sponville, 2001).  Virtuousness means the pursuit of the highest aspirations in the human condition (Bright et al, 2006;Rego et al, 2011).  Virtuousness is the internalization of moral rules, which produces social harmony (Manz et al, 2008).…”

“…Organizational virtuousness is associated with organizational contexts where the "good" habits, desires and actions are practiced and disseminated both at the individual and collective levels (Cameron et al, 2004;Rego et al, 2011;Cameron, 2003). Organizational virtuousness is associated with the attributes characterizing the best of a human resource (Nepean, 2007) and moral value and organizational virtue are more or less correlated (Ahmed & Machold, 2004).…”

“…Virtues and virtuous organization are two terms, which have been neglected in organizational literature and for many years (Rego et al, 2011). Virtues have been conventionally viewed as relativistic, culture-specific, and are more related to social conservatism, religious or moral dogmatism, and scientific irrelevance.…”

“…They emphasized that virtue requires to be added to the business and management research agenda (Rego et al, 2011). In cases of turbulent change, virtuousness serves both as a fixed point, a benchmark for making sense of ambiguity, and as a primary source of resilience, preventing system from any damages.…”

Respect in Buyer/Seller Relationships

et al. 2016

We explore respect's meaning and impact as experienced by individuals in buyer/seller business‐to‐business relationships. Though respect has known drivers and important consequences, it is poorly defined and understood, especially in business literature. We reviewed literature from various fields, including education, aging, and social work, and conducted in‐depth interviews with 24 North American professionals. Through thematic analysis of transcripts, we found respect is about valuing relationship partners. It results not only in commitment and positive word‐of‐mouth (as expected), but also positive emotions and citizenship behaviours. We develop a synthesized and expanded model of the determinants and outcomes of respect and point to future research. Our findings suggest managers should consider how to build respect in buyer/seller relationships to improve long‐term outcomes. Copyright © 2016 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
